Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 170 I Want To Ride A Horse (Part Two)

In actuality, the racecourse wasn't actually any stranger to Carla.

"Yo! Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's not the same as the one you brought here last time, right?"

From a distance, Theo noticed him carefully assisting Carla as she was getting out of the car. He

somewhat felt like his eyes had been playing tricks on him because it was something he had never

seen Terence do before.

"Well, if my memory serves me well, the girl you brought here with you last time was Ivy, right? How is

she doing? Where is she now?" Terence hurled back, grinning just a tiny bit as he held Carla by the

hand while walking toward Theo.

Theo shrugged and waved to a sexy woman behind him paying Terence no heed after hearing what he

just said. "It's already over between me and Ivy. Don't sweat it. Meet my new girlfriend. She's Ashley

Fang. Kindly make sure not to call her by the wrong name."

Theo jabbered as he wrapped his arms around Ashley's slender waist. Then, he gave her a peck on

her lips and prattled on, "Ashley, let me introduce him to you. This guy right here is Mr. Terence. He's a

good friend of mine.

And this is Mr. Terence's girlfriend, Miss..."

Terence shot a quick glance at Carla and uttered, "Theo, her name is Carla Ji. Remember that at all

times."

As a close friend, Terence believed it would just make perfect sense that Theo should know the name

of his wife. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

At that moment, it suddenly came to Theo that he had already met her before at a restaurant. But at

that time, he didn't know her name yet.

"Okay, heard that loud and clear! Carla. But her name somewhat rings a bell. Let me see... Oh! Are you

perhaps the woman of the hour who saved Terence's life back in BH City?"

Theo asked, snapping his fingers after remembering where he heard that name.

Of course, he had already heard about what happened. It was just that he wasn't aware that the

woman who arrived with Terence was actually that Carla.

'It all makes sense now. Terence had been in BH City for so long. And even after he got back to JA

City, he still went back to BH City on his free time. It just became apparent that he had been coming

back to see Carla.

Word got out that Terence had broken off his engagement with Bonnie for some reason. It must have

been all because of her, ' Theo thought right away.

As his close friend and confidante, Theo understood Terence quite well. There was no denying the fact

that Carla was sure to become the hostess of the An Mansion, because Terence had clearly been so

head over heels crazy for her. At the same time, he also thought that Carla could not be as simple as

she appeared.

"Hello, there."

Seeing Theo acting so surprised upon her name getting mentioned, Carla smiled and extended her

hand as a response.

They were simply going to shake hands. But just as their hands were about to touch, Terence

unexpectedly stopped them in their tracks. Terence quickly grabbed Carla's hand and said, "Didn't you

say you were looking forward to riding that horse? Well, what are you waiting for? Come on! Let's go!"

Theo stared at Terence and commented, "You could be so mean sometimes, you know that?"

Instead of going horseback riding, Carla just grabbed a seat in the shade, the warm breeze whistling

through her ears and blowing on her face. She was drinking some juice while watching Terence, Theo,

and his new girlfriend, all of whom were riding in the distance.

"Hello, young lady. Did you come here alone?"

From out of nowhere, a man suddenly sat next to Carla. Dressed in black and white equestrian

clothing, he looked at Carla wearing a smile on his face as he stroked his long and curly chestnut hair.

He wasn't really expecting to chance upon such a pretty lady sitting alone beneath the shade the

moment he got there.

Taking a sip from her drink, she just stared him, looking a bit deep in thought. Upon noticing the color of

his eyes, she asked, albeit a bit rudely, "Are you a hybrid?"

In a fraction of a second, the man burst into laughter and humored her with an answer, "Would you

prefer to hear the truth or a fascinating lie?"

Carla smiled and felt amused that this man was quite the smooth talker being able to keep a

conversation going with a woman he just met.

"The truth is that I'm only wearing a pair of contact lenses and the lie, on the other hand, is that I

usually tell other women that I'm a mixture of Chinese and European," the man answered whimsically.

As all of that was taking place, Terence was riding his horse on the distant part of the field. Casually

turning back, he was surprised at the sight of a man sitting next to Carla. He squinted at them in a vain

attempt to figure out who that man was.

He pulled on the halter to get the horse to turn around ride toward them at the shade.

When he realized that Terence was heading back, Theo was a little bemused. Just before he could ask

him why, he also noticed that Carla was talking with another man. From that, he was able to put two

and two together.

Carla and the mysterious man were sitting on a bench, casually chatting.

"I'm Kelvin. It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask for your name?" Kelvin introduced himself, moving a

little closer toward Carla. Then, he reached out his hand to initiate a handshake.

Staring at his hand, Carla remembered what happened just moments ago. Terence didn't seem to like

her shaking hands with another man. In fear of upsetting Terence, she didn't stretch out her hand but

politely answered with a smile instead, "My family name is Ji."

Seeing that Carla didn't bother stretching out her hand, Kelvin was still just all smiles. These days,

women on the defensive like her were too few and far between that he was rather amused. "So you're

Miss Ji.

However, you still have yet to give an answer to my first question. Did you come here alone?"

Before Carla could give him an answer, in a tone loud and clear, she suddenly heard a voice coming

from behind her.
